The Bollhoff P3007 is currently unavailable so as an alternative, Cardinal’s 9003 Heavy Duty rivet nut installation tool (also known as Atlas® Riv 942 installation tool) offers heavy-duty workhorse capability, as well as the ability to be flexible for installing tiny threaded parts (as small as a 6-32 / M4). The 9003 is typically used to install rivet nuts and rivet studs and offers both / either “Pull to Pressure” or “Pull to Stroke” capability.
- “Pull to Pressure” allows the user to initially set-up the tool to a predetermined installation force. The tool will apply a standard foot pounds of pressure to successfully install every rivet nut, even including if the material thicknesses varies from install to install. “Pull to Pressure” is user friendly and good for varying material thicknesses or varying types of rivet nuts.
- “Pull to Stroke” allows the user to initially set-up the tool to a predetermined installation pulling stroke distance. The user will screw the pressure knob into maximum pressure position (eliminating any pressure variations), then allow the gun to control the upset quality using the stroke control feature. The “Pull to Stroke” feature of the 9003 is an Assembler and Quality Manager’s best friend for high-volume installation production environments, as it assures the nutsert is “stroked” the same distance on every install! This is good for when a factory is installing the same rivet nut in the same material over and over and over again.
- Step 1: The fastener will auto-feed onto the installation tool

- Please consult us on your exact fastener and application to assure you invest in the most capable tool for the job.
- Note: Material type of fastener is critical. Example: Install tool may be set up for a 1/2-13 rivet nut, but tool is only capable of installing a soft aluminum 1/2-13 rivet nut, and can not install a harder steel or hardest stainless steel 1/2-13 rivet nut. A heavier duty tool would be required to install the harder steel or hardest stainless steel 1/2-13 rivet nut. Call us with questions!
